I'm really lucky to be part of the Balloon Aloft team here in the Hunter Valley.

So we offer sunrise balloon flights seven days a week.

And it's just a wonderful way to see the valley.

You know, it's really a different perspective to your normal cellar door experience, just flying over the vineyards at sunrise.

There's nothing like it.

Oh absolutely.

Our children go to school in Maitland so it's made a big difference from that perspective but just being able to access the beautiful beaches and other attractions along the coast in Newcastle and further north it's just really easy to get to those places and to explore out there on the weekend it's an easy commute.

Yeah, absolutely.

They're looking for a place that has, you know, lots of fresh air and space for their families to grow up.

But also there's lots of job opportunities out here as well.

Definitely the tourism industry is a big employer and we're always looking for people.

You know, that's an exciting industry to be part of.

Yeah, we've really seen a lot of younger people coming here, I guess, attracted by those benefits.
